Thanks for this nice explanation.

But if I am not wrong in function st_pctl_probe_dt, This is already done:

if (IS_ERR(info->irqmux_base))
            return PTR_ERR(info->irqmux_base);

That is the reason I thought there is no need to recheck the pointer
info->irqmux_base.
Am I misunderstanding something?
